LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL

Sadie had an ice cream party the last week of school that I was able to help with.  She had such a great 2nd grade year.  Her teacher Miss Reese was THE BEST (she received the Golden Apple Teaching award this year, so that tells you how AWESOME she is.)
 
 
   They had the 5th and 6th grade awards assembly.  Will received the HIGH HONOR ROLL award (meaning he got all As this year.)  
GREAT JOB WILL!
 
He loved his teacher Miss Badger.  She is a great 5th grade teacher that really loves to teach school and makes it fun for the kids. Next year Will gets to be one of the big kids on campus :)
  We had a PJ party in the 2nd grade class I was the Aide in.  I am sure going to miss these cute kids.  Good thing is I will be back working with Alesha next year so some of them will be in her class.
 This is Alesha the girl I worked with again this year.  She is such a sweet girl and has really learned alot this year.  I didn't get a picture with the cute kindergartener I worked with Beckham because they got out a week before the rest of the school and I didn't have my camera his last week.  I loved working with Beck and hope I get to work with him again next year too :) 
HAPPY SUMMER BREAK :)

YAHOO! THE DEAN POOL IS OPEN

Memorial Day we had our annual barbecue and swimming party at the Dean's.  The first swim day of the season is always a blast!  Thanks Judy and Roger for the yummy burgers and the 93 degree water.   We can't wait to spend lots of LAZY summer days in the pool :)

CAPITOL REEF and GOBLIN VALLEY

We spent Memorial break in Capitol Reef and Goblin Valley with My parents, My brother Brett and his son Alex, My sister Amy and her family and My brother Troy.  It was so fun to explore and hike together.  I added it up and we hiked 16 miles total :) We were there 2 nights and 3 days.  Because it was the Holiday weekend and we were afraid we wouldn't get a place to camp because a lot of the spots are first come first serve, we decided to book a room at the Rodeway Inn in Cainsville just 20 miles outside of Capitol Reef and 35 miles outside of Goblin Valley.  It was nice to have a bed, shower, continental breakfast, pool and hot tub.  We had such a great time!  It is so fun now our kids are older that they enjoy hiking and don't complain. Thanks for the GREAT memories :)
